Fix broken popcorn maker 

At 3:20 when I open the heater element you can see cables going in with a white insulator. I guess you would have to hijack those cables and put your dimmer there. Make sure the dimmer is at least 1500 W capacity. Disclaimer: I'm not saying that it's safe nor that it should be done.

@@photographiedynamic yes ok, and thank you.

⁠​⁠@@photographiedynamicbut there’s three wires with the white insulator over them, going into the element. One wire is red and goes to the on off switch that gives the popper power, as well as to the fuse that is beside the element. There’s also a white wire and a blue wire. They look like they connect to the small element. Would I connect the dimmer switch to the white and blue wires? Thx for any help. And yes, it’s at my own risk. )

Hi, is the fan working and does it push enough air through the heating wire? If the air is not flowing then the wires will over heat.

no idea, sorry. Specialty electronic stores probably will have something.
